I have purchased many adapters and cables that are not genuine Apple products & they all fail 2 weeks later. This Apple adapter works great & charges my iPad Air & iPhone6 so fast! Yes, the adapter gets hot. However last time I checked, there is electric flowing through the adapter. Just like a light bulb or TV, anything with an electric currant flowing through it can get hot. I have used the same adapter for 2 years so it last long & gets the job done! I just wish Apple would make fashionable versions so there are choices other than just white. I highly recommend this adapter as it is very efficient and at just $19 USD it is very affordable. Thank you! Team Apple all day

I've had the iPad, iPad Air, and now iPad Air 2 as well as most of the phones including the first iPhone, now have iPhone6. Love the product but with my iPad air2 my charger gets so hot I can't leave it overnight just in case it causes my home to burn. This is really not a good advertisement to buy Apple goods also my iPad air2 itself gets very hot. Why is this Apple? I get apprehensive when my iPad gets hot so switch it off. Shouldn't have to do this. It seems as though this is not just my problem but a general one. What is Apple doing about it? Are they in denial? Hope it doesn't turn out like the hover stuff.
Never happened with the previous Apple pads and phones. Only rated it 3 stars because of the heating problems I am having, product itself is really good to use.

It works for both your iPhone, iPad and doesn't give out too much voltage

I am able to use my Apple charger for my iPhone SE and iPad without too much voltage going to my iPhone or too much voltage going to my iPad when charging it.

I have a BlackBerry Passport that failed to charge for a few months now. I simply forgot about it as I use an iPhone. Today, I decide to try and charge it with the iPad charger. Guess what? It works. So does with the iPad, iPhone (a lot faster), Kindle and everything else. It is not a big deal, it is a wall charger but it is the best I've ever used. It is the kind of charger you want to buy extra just to have one around the house. And even if I have about a dozen USB chargers around the house, I primarily use this one. Apple, no matter what you do, don't kill this charger. I simply haven't found anything that works as good on the market. I can find third party cables, I can find docks but this is the only charger that also charges BlackBerry and I've tried many. I don't know how it does it but it simply works.

Yes and because standard it comes with a 10W charger (I really don’t understand why it doesn’t come with the 12W) it will be about 20% faster.
12W is the max. your iPad pro 9.7” will accept, although it wil work with the 29W USB-C Power Adapter and a USB-C to Lightning Cable, it won’t charge it faster than the 12W power adapter.

No, it does not. When first plugged in, there is a brief ½ second, one tenth Watt reading, but quickly goes to zero when nothing is attached. This is expected behavior for intelligent, energy conserving power supplies.
The resolution of my Kill-A-Watt meter is 0.01 Amp, or 0.05 Watt, so it's possible it may have a minute draw below that resolution, but that would be negligible and not considered a "vampire draw," like older technology.
